Like a little firmware glitch at ASUS who may find their console overshadows the Steam Deck ?
Of course, things can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but generally speaking, the release of new firmware is a pretty good sign: bug fixes, performance boost, there’s little to complain about. Finally, as a general rule…
Skip Update 319
In the video below Gordon Whitson, Marketing Manager at ASUS, is quite clear: Some users mention performance problems so if you want to wait a bit, no problem you can “.
Gordon Whitson also prefers to point out that ” more updates are available and discuss the new driver for the fingerprint reader of the ROG Ally console. To put it simply, ASUS itself does not push for the installation of a firmware update yet available on the official website of its console.
A console that we were testing a few weeks ago, but which has only been officially available since June 13. If the performances are already very good, the new firmware should improve things. Had to…
Performance at half mast
As explained The Phawxalways at the forefront of ROG Ally, firmware 319 reduces performance to 9 Watts when it is specifically designed to improve them!
Even more annoying, the firmware also degrades the playing conditions in 15 Watts mode as well as in 25 Watts. In a nutshell, the ROG Ally sees its results drop with this update, with no other consideration than minor bug fixes. ASUS will probably fix it, but in the meantime, it’s still possible to roll back to a previous firmware with the official update tool, ASUS EZ Flash Utility.
To make matters worse, but ASUS has had nothing to do with it this time, it should be noted that AMD has still not merged the Radeon drivers for its Phoenix chips with those of the RDNA3 generation of GPUs. In fact, the Phoenix APUs still have to wait for the last optimizations.
